 Introduction
Biochips are small thumbnail size devices .

Biochip is an important potential tool in life science

Made in a glass or silicon wafer

It combines genetics, molecular biology and

biochemistry

They execute many hundred operations

simultaneously on a solid surface.
 Definition of Biochip

Biochip is miniaturized laboratory capable

of performing thousands of
simultaneous biochemical reactions.
 History of Biochip
Developed in 1983 for monitoring fishes.

Large scale development of biochips in 1990s

In 1986 Leroy Hood discovered florescence-

based DNA sequence which facilitated reading
DNA.

Invented in 4G generation and the development

is still continued
 Classification of Biochip

At present the common biochip is divided

into three categories:
Gene chip (DNA chip, DNA microarray).

Protein chip.

Lab-on-chip (micro fluid)

 Application of Biochip

Biochip can be apply in these four (4)

areas:
Pharmaceutical research.

Medical diagnostics.
Forensics.
Transplantation.
 Biochip Implant
Injection is safe and simple.

Usually injected behind the neck.

Anesthesia is not required.

Injected by a hypodermic syringe beneath the

skin.
Components of Biochip
 Merits of Biochip

To rescue the sick

To identify person uniquely

They can perform thousand of biological in

a few seconds.

Ability to detect multiple viral agents in

parallel
 Demerits of Biochip

No freedom and dignity

Implanted without ones knowledge

The raise critical issues of personal

privacy
 CONCLUSION
Biochips are:
Fast

Accurate

Miniaturized

Expected to become economically

advantageous attributes that makes them
analogous to computer chip.
